Case Study: iBA achieves data-driven process optimization in plastic extrusion with Hilscher netFIELD

IBA connects extrusion lines in 2–3 hours with Hilscher

IBA GmbH, a company specializing in plastic extrusion systems, faced challenges with manual data recording, a lack of process transparency, and meeting customer demands for traceability. To address this, they partnered with vendor Hilscher to digitally transform their operations using the netFIELD ecosystem.

Hilscher implemented its netFIELD Edge Gateways to collect real-time machine data, which was then analyzed by the iDOO platform. This solution provided iBA with greater transparency and improved quality assurance, leading to higher process efficiency through reduced scrap rates and optimized energy consumption. The implementation by Hilscher also provided a scalable foundation for future data-driven services.
